Client-side Attack

Client-side attacks focus on the abuse or exploitation of a website’s users. When a user visits a website, trust is established between the two parties; the user expects the site to deliver valid content and not attack them or put their personal information in jeopardy during their visit. Often, when attackers aren’t able to breach an app or its supporting infrastructure, they take advantage of the app client (browser) instead. Most client-side attacks are designed to steal access, either by directly stealing a user’s credentials or by hijacking an authorized session in progress.
